What's more powerful and hauntingly beautiful than a hand forged black Damascus steel blade? Three of 'em! Alluringly dark sword set demands attention on display, demands respect on the battlefield

Sinister style. Hauntingly dark beauty. Wild, untamed power.Multiplied threefold
Shinwa’s 3-Piece “Black Knight” Sword set represents the haunting beauty and untamed dark savagery of the acclaimed “Black Knight” Katana, multiplied threefold. Whether you need a powerful, imposing weapon for open battle, an easily concealed yet deadly blade for a stealthy black ops mission or a versatile medium, this incredible sword trio has you covered. It includes the original sword fan favorite – the “Black Knight” Katana, accompanied by matching wakizashi and tanto, all perched on handsome wooden display stand. Albeit eye-catching and downright breathtaking, the Black Knight swords are far more than mere showpieces, each boasting premium, combat-effective materials like exclusive, hand forged black Damascus steel, as well as overall quality on par with custom swords priced well beyond the $500 mark. Yet thanks to Shinwa’s world-renowned knack for maximizing value, you can have all three swords plus display stand and silk dust covers delivered to your door for considerably less than you’d pay for a single similar sword from another sword maker. But make no mistake; “similar” is a relative term, as the “Black Knights” are undeniably unique – modern legends of traditional Japanese swordcraft without equal. The legend begins with the storied Black Knight Katana…

The "Black Knight" of lore, embodied in a fierce hand forged katana
Shadowy and mysterious, yet clearly capable, Shinwa’s “Black Knight” Katana embodies the fabled “dark-“ or “black knight” of lore – a rogue warrior loyal to no warlord or king, who fights only for himself and his own cryptic, deviant-yet-noble principles. Indeed, the Black Knight Katana slashes to the beat of its own drum. And despite its grim hues, the Black Knight is nothing if not vibrant and alluring; it’s teeming with distinctive appointments and captivating accents – a true masterwork of contemporary sword design. But behind this stylishly unsettling façade lurks a downright frightening beast – a formidable tanto blade hand forged from black Damascus steel.
Open your mind to dark-yet-thrilling new bladecraft possibilities
More than “muscle,” the capable full tang blade is the veritable “dark soul” of the Black Knight, and no less than hand forged bladecraft at its height. It slices effortlessly through even the most challenging materials, retaining its fine edge through even the most brutal trials. Breathtaking, downright bewitching and truly unique, the blade’s beauty is every bit as keen as the carefully honed, razor sharp edge. It pierces the depths of your imagination - opening it to wondrous new metallurgical possibilities, while slashing apart all your preconceived notions of what makes Damascus steel, “Damascus steel.”

Shinwa looks to the past, yet "forges" ahead with its own modern innovations
The Black Knight’s distinctive black Damascus steel is a tumultuous sea of contrasting lines, waves, swirls and other mesmerizing patterns, all cloaked in a shadowy dark hue. Each line is a distinct variety of steel, hammer welded and hand folded repeatedly to yield the thousands of layers in each Black Knight blade. The unique metalsmithing technique’s roots stretch back to the Middle Ages, and today it’s still painstakingly performed by seasoned hands – no automation, no mechanization. To make each Black Knight blade, a Shinwa master swordsmith fires a stack of steel blanks - each piece a different alloy - in a white-hot forge until the metal glows red hot. He then removes the stack and hammers it until it’s around half as thick as the original. Then he folds the metal onto itself lengthwise and hammers each half together. The process is meticulously repeated – hundreds of times in some cases – until the desired layering effect is achieved, at which point a final quenching strengthens the resulting blade, while an acid treatment highlights vivid contrasts in the layers. And the slow, laborious process itself it just the beginning!

Unique allure only a seasoned swordsmith could produce
In order to achieve sufficiently dramatic contrasts, Shinwa’s master smiths must expertly select an appropriate combination of steel alloys of varying color, luminescence and other visual qualities. For the sake of strength, resilience and countless additional blade factors, the smiths must also must consider each alloy’s distinct melting point, proper stacking order, forge temperature and myriad other variables. Simply put, an unbelievable quantity of blood, sweat and tears goes into every Black Knight blade.

Experience Damascus steel…after dark
As if that weren’t enough, Shinwa adds its own innovative modern twist to the Black Knight blade - an exclusive, closely guarded secret process that imparts that sinister dark veil; putting the “black” in black Damascus, so to speak. Rich amber lines swirl over a deep black void like trails of blood flowing down a blackwater river. It's Damascus steel...after dark. And of all the world’s swords, Shinwa’s Black Knight is one of a relative few to feature it. Furthermore, like a steel snowflake or fingerprint, the patterning on no two Black Knight blades are exactly alike.

A dark sword that shines brighter than the rest
“Knights in shimmering armor” are a dime a dozen, as are ordinary swords. Even the most sumptuously adorned “carbon steel” examples can’t match the shadowy allure of Shinwa’s Black Knight Katana. Like a seaside lighthouse in photonegative, the deep, dark Black Knight is a brilliant shining beacon of originality and inventiveness in a sea of ordinary, uninspired swords. And many have answered the call, as the Black Knight commands a substantial following of devoted fans. This should come as no surprise - the Black Knight has proven itself time and again, and it holds its own against far more expensive katana, outperforming many. But the old cliché is true - "action" does indeed "speak louder than words," and at this unbeatable, downright unheard-of price, why deny yourself the opportunity to experience the ever-impressive Black Knight Katana for yourself? No matter how you use it, with proper care you can enjoy it for a lifetime, then pass it down to your children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren! The Black Knight is heirloom-quality and built to be treasured by generations of your descendants - your legacy preserved in hand forged black Damascus steel.

I recieved my set today and was over the top on the quality and beauty of these swords. They will now take center stage of my sword and knife collection. They arrived quickly and were sharp out of the scabbard. I have purchased many items from True Swords and happy with every purchase. Thank you True Sword.

Awesome ValueReviewed by Robert Scott Godwin on Jun 01, 20185 out of 5

I already had this set but when i noticed that it went on sale @ this ridiculous price i jumped and bought another. Do note that no presentation box with this set... Only storage bags, but really doesn't matter as if it did come with the sword cases, they would just end up with the other hard cases taking up space in a closet. I plan on rewrapping with another color and "voila", another beautifully crafted shinwa black and red Damascus set! Get it on a free shipping promo like me and if you often buy here from Budk, join the buyers club($19.99/annually), take a additional 10% your purchase which makes it $116.99! Thats really a sweet deal for this set! Why buy a wall hanger when you can pick this fully functional set up for the price of 3 display swords. The blades are so mesmerizing and the fit and finish on both the sets i have are outstanding! Truly buy this set with confidence backed by their no hassle 60 day return policy.
THAT IS ALL......CARRY ON!
